4.f.
The woman with
more teeth than the average person rushed up the steps toward the doors of The
Jacob Center Tower. She had seen
Corporate Man going into the building from her seat on the bus. It had taken a great deal of floundering
hysterics to get the bus driver to stop, her swollen mouth hindering
communication. That they were not at a
prescheduled bus stop location added to the difficulty.
Luckily, the
bus driver put on the brakes and opened the door before she had to jam her gun
in his face.
When she got
to the door she peered in through the glass just in time to see a sweaty, fat man
with rolled up shirt sleeves and slicked down hair lunge at Corporate
Man.
The woman with
more teeth than the average person crept into the building. Bellows from the fat man echoed through the
lobby. She tried to suppress a
grin. The big man hit the polished lobby
floor with a meaty slap. Corporate Man
and the woman in blue fanned out, signaling to the others who were standing nearby. The woman with more teeth than the average
person then noticed a woman in a mauve skirt and jacket with a dark purple
blouse gripping the wrist of a haggard looking man. The woman with more teeth than the average
person recognized this man. She’d met
him at corporate functions. He was the
head of the Northside branch of IBC Inc.
Others in
various colored suits sprang into action when the timid man with the royal blue
necktie shouted something about being sorry, that they’d gotten to him first,
and donkey punch.
